LaunchDarkly Flag Create & Configure

You're using a skill that will guide you through introducing a new feature flag into a codebase. Your job is to explore how flags are already used in this codebase, create the flag in LaunchDarkly in a way that fits, add the evaluation code matching existing patterns, and verify everything is wired up correctly.

Prerequisites

This skill requires the remotely hosted LaunchDarkly MCP server to be configured in your environment.

Required MCP tools:

• create-flag: create a new feature flag in a project
• get-flag: verify the flag was created correctly

Optional MCP tools (enhance workflow):

• list-flags: browse existing flags to understand naming conventions and tags
• update-flag-settings: update flag metadata (name, description, tags, temporary/permanent status)

Workflow

Step 1: Explore the Codebase
